One Pot Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole

Skip the drive-through and treat yourself at home.

We’ve all heard it – the siren song of the fast-food drive-through.

You try so hard to be strong. But then you hear the words “bacon cheeseburger” and suddenly you can almost taste it…the juicy, chewy beef…the cheese melting on top…the crisp, salty bacon. And somehow you just find your hands turning the steering wheel in the direction of the nearest drive-through before you can stop them.

But there is a way to escape. The next time you hear that siren call, keep turning that wheel, and steer yourself to the grocery store to pick up the ingredients for this One Pot Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole. Actually, you probably have most of them at home already, so you might not need to buy anything but the beef.

This dish has all the delicious flavors of a bacon cheeseburger -the meat, the cheese, the bacon, and all the toppings you love. But they’re spread out with pasta and veggies (tomato and onion), which makes the casserole version a lot easier on your waistline. Not to mention your wallet.

And the casserole comes together really quickly, too. All you have to do is fry the beef, onion, and garlic, then add the other ingredients and let it cook for about 15 minutes. Stir in the cheese, add your favorite toppings, and you’re ready to go.

It’s not quite as fast as going through the drive-through. But at least you don’t have to talk to a big plastic clown face to get it.
